Modify Information written to "Task History" from Flexi Task?

February 24, 2014, 4:30 pm

Good afternoon. 

In my workflow, I have lazy approval turned on.  When a user replies with a response and then a comment, The "Task History" section captures everything. including the previous email in the email thread. ie: From: donotreply@domain.com and the body below that. 

I was wondering if there is a way to either:

A) Modify the task history list, so I can truncate that information with a UDA or something, OR,

B) Truncate the comment before it's written to the task history list? 

Right now, when I view workflow history, the task history section is so large, because it's capturing so many unnecessary characters.  I'd love to limit this somehow.

Colliding workflows

February 25, 2014, 10:44 am

We have a workflow that runs on a Document Set (SharePoint 2010), that iterates through each document in the document set and updates the status to “In Review”. I have another workflow that runs conditionally on each document when the Status is modified to = “In Review”.

 

We are experiencing some collision here, where the logs are indicating that recursive workflows are not permitted, saying that the workflow that modifies the status is still running when it’s trying to kick off the workflow that begins conditionally.

 

Is there a better way to do this? Because the second workflow runs on a conditional value, I would have expected the first workflow to be complete prior to the second workflow running, but it seems that’s not the case.

 

Essentially, the need is to be able to start one workflow on the document set that kicks off a separate workflow for each of the documents located within that document set. But, I need to wait for the first workflow to end prior to starting the second workflow. The Start Workflow action doesn’t seem to be a viable option because it would only start the workflow on the document set, I wouldn’t be able to start it on each of the documents.

 

Any assistance or ideas are appreciated!

URL Change has led to random workflow failures

A user changed the URL of a site with a Nintex workflow on it.

The workflow has various approval stages and delegates after 5 days.

 Now the workflow will fail with "An error has occured in xxx" at a random approval stage. Sometimes it will be the first stage, sometimes the 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc.

I've tried editing the workflow, re-publishing etc. but the errors still occur.

Has anyone experienced this or can offer any ideas on how to resolve?

Thanks,

Neal

Dear all, I have a problem to check whether a people picker field is empty or not since I want to make a custom validation with javascript function. I can not set this field as required field since I want this is field is required only when some conditions are applied. I tried to put alert on every condition in the javascript function and I get a fact that if (NWF$.trim(commentText) == "") just doesn’t work with people picker type. I have attached my form so it can be reviewed. Thank you very much for your help!

Dynamic population of choice controls in Nintex forms

Hi

is it possible to build populate a choice control in a nintex form from workflow data? (e.g. a collection variable)
We need to have a flexible task with varying numbers of outcomes, and the only way we've come up with so far is to have outcomes of Yes / Other / No, and then have a required value in a radio button list for Other outcomes. The only problem is the options in the choice control can only be worked out from workflow data.

We have the following SharePoint Farm topology, with the following services running

2 WFE

Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application - Started

Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Workflow Timer Service - Started

2 APP

Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Web Application - Stopped

Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Workflow Timer Service - Stopped

Nintex Live Forms Online Service - Started (Only on the central admin server)

When a Nintex Published Form is submited which adds an item and intiates a workflow we get the following error.

Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException: <Error><CompilerError Line="0" Column="10" Text="The type or namespace name 'Nintex' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)" />

Complete error is attached in the text file.

Please let me know what could be the cause of the issue. We have purposefully disabled the the workflow timer and web application foundation service on the app servers as per the Nintex Workflow installation guide.

 Thanks

Help! Sending Notification if "Todays Date" is later than list "End Date"???

September 19, 2011, 10:54 am

Hi,

 I would like to create a workflow that sends a notification based on the following:

 I have a list, within this list I have a field named "End Date".  This is a Time and Date field.  I would like a notification to be sent out if the "End Date" that has been entered is later than the current date i.e. today's date as you read this. 

 The reason for this is that the list refers to projects, if todays date is later than the End Date of the project - the project is rendered overdue and a notification reminder needs to be sent to the "project owner" (a field that is also in the list).

Any help with this will be much appreciated.

 Kind Regards,

Hi

Recently, we moved out DataCenters from one vendor to another. As part of this activity, AppPool Password is reset.

Post that, we are facing issue where in when we access Nintex Forms, we are getting error saying

"Data adapter failed during OnLoad: The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.".

a) We are using UDCX for connection.

b) We have associated UDCX SSO ID in Secure Server target. Farm Account is used here.

c) Permissions for AppPoolId and FarmAccountId is set in NW DB.  

Can you help in resolving this issue ?

We also used SOAP UI to call the services. And we are getting same 401 Unauthorized error.

Hi @ all,

I´m created a workflow with the decommission site collection action. I´m filled the actions as follows:

- Credentials (of a SiteCollection Administrator)

- URL: https://next.customer.com/teams/t0000005

- Action: read only

- Reason: Test

- Error handling is activated

After starting the workflow I´m getting the error description in the history log: Access is denied. (Exception from HResult: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))

A manually deleting works without problems because my account is a SiteColelction admin

So I changed the credentials to a Farm admin account, the same issue

Does anyone have a solution for me?

Aggregating Nintex Workflow tasks on users MySite OOB

Hoping one of you have the answer to this: are/can Nintex Workflow tasks aggregated to the My Tasks list on a users MySite (SP 2013/NW 2013)? I haven't found a conclusive answer in any documentation on the Work Management Service Application other than claims that it should do this OOB. 

An excerpt from the MS Whitepaper "My Tasks and Aggregation in SharePoint Server and Exchange Task Integration" (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=38799) makes me think it should work:

"...Supported types of SharePoint tasks

WMA aggregates tasks from SharePoint lists created in SharePoint Server (internally called TasksWithTimelineAndHierarchy-171) plus upgraded SharePoint lists from earlier versions of SharePoint (internally called Task-107 or GanttTasks-150).

Additionally, WMA aggregates all task items (whether or not in a SharePoint list) created in a library that supports the task content type. For more information, see: Turn on support for multiple content types in a list or library.

Note: The Task content type should be marked as the Default Content Type for your custom list in order for the tasks to be aggregated by the service..."

 I'd prefer to verify this with someone who's seen it working before we go to far down this path so any feedback is greatly appreciated.

 Thanks!

Copy to SharePoint - Renaming document instead of Replacement and update version

Hey guys,

The Forum has helped me many times, when I have had detailed problems with Nintex. This time there seems to be no solution and no logical behavior within the SharePoint environments. When I copy a document (option: Update existing item) I have as well a SharePoint 2010 farm as a SharePoint 2013 farm, where the document will be copied correctly, but there is no chance to get Nintex create a new version of the document.

It seems a very easy option, but it is in both environments not working?!

If anyone has a suggestion why Nintex is working like that or has made the same experience?

Thanks in advance

List with lookup column not working after deployment

Hello,

After deploying two lists to another site I am getting some errors. I used Powershell to do the deployments. I did not export and import the Nintex form because the Powershell export and import did that.

List A

List B – has a lookup column to List A

 

List B - NewForm.aspx – This work perfectly. The form works and the list B is updated. Then the workflow for List B runs and updates list A as it should.

 

List B - EditForm.aspx - I am getting object reference not set to an instance of an object error. When I look in the logs I see the “page you selected contains a list that does not exist”.

List B – DispForm.aspx – Brings up the form, however it is populated with data from list B in the original site.

Nintex Forms - When I go and look at the lookup control in Nintex Forms for list B, I am getting “Loading the available lists failed.”

If you need any more information, please let me know. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Call Non SharPoint Web Service and Query XML

Hi All,

   I can't seem to parse the XML with Query XML. Here's the WS response. I need to be able to parse the ID and Desciption values.
I have tried to wrap the response with <XML>. What's the correct <XML> namespace to use ?


<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
  <s:Body>
    <FindAllDealsResponse xmlns="http://sss.service">
      <FindAllDealsResult xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
        <Deal>
          <Currency>
            <DecimalDelimiter>.</DecimalDelimiter>
            <DecimalPlaces>2</DecimalPlaces>
            <Description>India, Rupee</Description>
            <EuroFixedRate i:nil="true" />
            <Format>Rs.#,##,###.##</Format>
            <FormatSymbol>Rs.</FormatSymbol>
            <ISO>INR</ISO>
            <Id>15</Id>
            <IsSymbolOnLeft>true</IsSymbolOnLeft>
            <Minor>paise</Minor>
            <Symbol>Rs</Symbol>
            <ThousandDelimiter>,</ThousandDelimiter>
          </Currency>
          <Description>Global Health</Description>
          <Id>111</Id>
          <IsDomesticDeal>false</IsDomesticDeal>
          <Private>true</Private>
        </Deal>
      </FindAllDealsResult>
    </FindAllDealsResponse>
  </s:Body>
</s:Envelope>

XPath that I used didn't work-  

"/s:Envelope/s:Body/defaultNS:FindAllDealsResponse/defaultNS:FindAllDealsResult/defaultNS:Deal/defaultNS:Id".
"/s:Envelope/s:Body/defaultNS:FindAllDealsResponse/defaultNS:FindAllDealsResult/defaultNS:Deal/defaultNS:Description"

When I ran the Query XML action, the entire soap response is output instead of the the ID or Description.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
